More quotes by Nigella Lawson
Everyone wants to be young, beautiful and rich. I don't say that scornfully: there are worse things to want to be. But that's why, for example, people don't begrudge Kate Moss how much she earns for a day's work but will fulminate over the take-home pay of some fat, old Water Board exec.
Nigella Lawson
Good olive oil, good butter, milk - they give food taste and depth and a richness that you cant reproduce with low-fat ingredients.
Nigella Lawson
I do think awful things may happen at any moment, so while they are not happening, you may as well be pleased.
Nigella Lawson
And cooking is about balance and harmony.
Nigella Lawson
I am not a chef. I am not even a trained or professional cook. My qualification is as an eater.
Nigella Lawson
Tension translates to your guests. They'll have a much better time having chili and baked potatoes than they would if you did roast duck with a wild cherry sauce and then had to lie down and cry for a while.
Nigella Lawson
I used to refer to myself as Typhoid Mary. It wasn't that I was jinxed, I just seemed to bring ill fortune to anybody I was close to.
Nigella Lawson
I was brought up an atheist and have always remained so. But at no time was I led to believe that morality was unimportant or that good and bad did not exist. I believe passionately in the need to distinguish between right and wrong and am somewhat confounded by being told I need God, Jesus or a clergyman to help me to do so.
Nigella Lawson
I'm not someone who's endlessly patient and wonderful.
Nigella Lawson
While I am sure there are a number of women who secretly wonder whether they are lesbian, most simply have, somewhere, a fantasy about having sex, in a non-defining, non-exclusive way, with other women.
Nigella Lawson
I was a quiet teenager, introverted, full of angst.
Nigella Lawson
You need a balance in life between dealing with whats going on inside and not being so absorbed in yourself that it takes over.
Nigella Lawson
(In cooking), there is always room for careful tinkering.
Nigella Lawson
I never have plans for the future as you never know how things will turn out.
Nigella Lawson
I am always surprised when people read double entendres into my innocuous babble.
Nigella Lawson
I lurch from chaos to chaos. I can't find my driving licence and my clothes are everywhere - cooking is the neatest thing I do.
Nigella Lawson
But if you know that something has been really vicious, you don't read it, you don't let it into your head. What's damaging is when sentences go through your head and you burn with the injustice of it.
Nigella Lawson
In England and America people tend to graze all day long, but I think it's such a waste to be constantly picking at food because you then can't enjoy a proper full meal when the time comes.
Nigella Lawson
People who have fabulous childhoods have this sense that nothing is ever going to be that good again. With me, I have the sense that nothing is going to be that bad.
Nigella Lawson
Sometimes...we don't want to feel like a postmodern, postfeminist, overstretched woman but, rather, a domestic goddess, trailing nutmeggy fumes of baking pie in our languorous wake.
